Happy Bunday! You know what awaits you below the fold….

Space Shuttle from hangar to liftoff:

This may have been posted before (or something similar was) but it’s still pretty incredible to watch. The part where the rail crane lifts the shuttle vertically through the shaft, on its way to be mated with the boosters/external fuel tank is kinda’ freaky. It looks so tiny compared with the vehicle assembly building. There may or may not be audio with the video.
